Fig. 1 is the structural drawing of an embodiment of the structure of the above-mentioned pixel of expression.Figure 1A represents the planimetric map of the liquid crystal side of transparency carrier SUB1, and Figure 1B represents the planimetric map of the liquid crystal side of transparency carrier SUB2, and Fig. 1 C represents along the sectional view of the c-c line among Figure 1A.In addition, the figure that sees from observer's one side of the plan representation shown in Figure 1B.
In Figure 1A, at first, on the face of the liquid crystal side of transparency carrier SUB1, form a pair of signal line GL that extends, is set up in parallel along the y direction along the x direction.
These signal lines GL surrounds rectangular zone with the described a pair of drain signal line DL in back, constitutes this zone as pixel region.
On the surface of the transparency carrier SUB1 that has formed signal line GL like this, form and be covered with this signal line GL, for example the dielectric film GI that constitutes by SiN.
This dielectric film GI has the function as the interlayer dielectric of above-mentioned signal line GL in the back in the formation zone of described drain signal line DL, have function in the formation zone of described in the back thin film transistor (TFT) TFT, have function in the formation zone of described in the back capacity cell Cadd as its dielectric film as its gate insulating film.
And, on the surface of this dielectric film GI, form the semiconductor layer AS that for example constitutes overlappingly by amorphous Si with the extension of above-mentioned signal line GL.
This semiconductor layer AS is thin film transistor (TFT) TFT itself, by form drain electrode SD1 and source S D2 on it, can constitute the above-mentioned extension of the signal line GL MIS transistor npn npn as reciprocal cross mistake (stagger) structure of grid.
Here, above-mentioned drain electrode SD1 and source S D2 form when forming drain signal line DL simultaneously.
That is, form the drain signal line DL that extends, is set up in parallel along the x direction along the y direction, its part extend to above-mentioned semiconductor layer AS above, form drain electrode SD1, in addition, leave the channel length part of thin film transistor (TFT) TFT, formation source S D2 with this drain electrode SD1.
This source S D2 extends to from semiconductor layer surface on the upper surface of dielectric film of pixel region one side, contacts with the described pixel electrode PX in back by through hole TH.

On the upper surface of diaphragm, form pixel electrode PX.This pixel electrode PX is by for example ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), ITZO (Indium Tin Zinc Oxide), IZO (IndiumZinc Oxide), SnO 2(tin oxide), In 2O 3The conducting film of the light transmission of formations such as (indium oxides) constitutes.
This pixel electrode PX is made of the aggregate of the electrode (sub-pixel) that a plurality of for example circular figures constitute.
That is, be such shape: dispose the sub-pixel of a plurality of circles, constitute this pixel electrode PX, being shaped as of these each sub-pixels, other sub-pixels that utilize the narrow conducting film that is integrally formed light transmission of width to be adjacent are electrically connected mutually.
In other words, form this pixel electrode PX like this: will in most of zone of pixel region, be the conducting film of the light transmission that plane earth forms, also being to be arranged in the shape that rectangular a plurality of rhombuses (Qi Gebian be point to inboard circular-arc) have carried out perforate.
Here, between two sub-pixels of each sub-pixel in another adjacent sub-pixel group of each the sub-pixel group that is set up in parallel along the y direction.Thus, surround the regional non-PX that does not form pixel electrode PX and the above-mentioned sub-pixel that disposes is made up of 3 such odd numbers.
In addition, for a sub-pixel, be electrically connected mutually with another sub-pixel that is adjacent, this connection can make them be in contact with one another according to the shape of figure, also can be undertaken by thinner connector (for example connector that forms with the conductor layer of sub-pixel).
Formed under the situation of pixel electrode PX at such each sub-pixel of configuration, can be in limited area with a plurality of subpixel configuration, its result can improve aperture ratio of pixels.
This pixel electrode PX, the contact site CT of its part by forming on the part of said protection film PAS is connected electrically on the source S D2 of thin film transistor (TFT) TFT.
On the upper surface of the transparency carrier SUB1 that has formed pixel electrode PX like this, be covered with this pixel electrode PX and form alignment films ORI1.This alignment films ORI1 is the film that directly contacts with liquid crystal.Though under original state, do not need to make liquid crystal aligning, as required, can dispose the vertical alignment layer of the initial orientation of predesignating liquid crystal molecule or the common alignment films that rubs is orientated yet.In addition, among the embodiment afterwards, utilize alignment films to determine initial orientation, also can be not limited to this as mentioned above though putting down in writing.
On the face of the liquid crystal side of transparency carrier SUB2, at first, mark off its each pixel region and form black matrix BM like that.That is, black matrix BM is formed in the figure that has formed opening in the zone of the periphery (part that comprises cover film transistor T FT) that stays each pixel region, has improved the contrast of display degree thus, and can avoid the deterioration in characteristics of this thin film transistor (TFT) TFT.
On the surface of the transparency carrier SUB2 that has formed black matrix BM, be covered with the opening of this black matrix BM, form color filter FIL.This color filter FIL is made of for example red (R), green (G), blue (B) color filter of all kinds, form the color filter of on each the pixel region group that is set up in parallel along the y direction public landform precedent such as redness, in this pixel region group along form on x direction adjacent pixels district group successively publicly red (R) look, green (G) look, indigo plant (B) look, red (R) look ... such arrangement.
Also be covered with above-mentioned black matrix BM and color filter FIL, form alignment films ORI2, this alignment films ORI2 is the film that directly contacts with liquid crystal, determines the initial orientation of this liquid crystal molecule.
In addition, on the upper surface of above-mentioned alignment films ORI2, relatively form the projection body PRJ that constitutes by for example resin with the central part of each sub-pixel of pixel electrodes PX.Here, figure 3 illustrates the position relation of the above-mentioned projection body PRJ of each sub-pixel of pixel electrode PX of transparency carrier SUB1 side and transparency carrier SUB2 side.But projection body PRJ not necessarily must be positioned at the center of the sub-pixel of pixel electrode PX exactly, even some skews are arranged, the described effect in back is arranged also.In addition, as long as this projection body carries out projection, for example can consider different shapes such as semi-spherical shape, polygonal cone-shaped, concaveconvex shape.
Promptly, in such structure, as above-mentioned liquid crystal, use and for example have negative dielectric constant anisotropy, liquid crystal molecule is almost perpendicular to the liquid crystal of transparency carrier SUB1 ground orientation when added electric field not, when this liquid crystal molecule is parallel to substrate and topples over when applying electric field, be that topple over radially at the center with above-mentioned projection body PRJ.
Therefore, penetrate with wide-angle, can obtain so-called big field angle characteristic by the light in liquid crystal arrival observer's the eye.
If adopt the liquid crystal indicator of above explanation, then can suppress to constitute the decline of the caused aperture ratio of pixels of pixel electrode PX by the configuration of this sub-pixel by a plurality of sub-pixels.
